Recipe Tips

  • Soaking the rice before cooking helps to remove excess starch and ensures that the rice is fluffy and not sticky.
  • Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper according to your spice tolerance.
  • You can use fresh thyme instead of dried thyme if it is available.
  • Make sure to stir the rice occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
